House GOPs Want Feeding Tube Reinserted
this isn't a "right to die" case either...i heard about this story many many many months before i heard a word of it on any mainstream outlet...this is not a right to die case.
this shows how the "left" and "right" media lie to everyone. all they have to say is "right to die" and people on the "left" don't care what the circumstances are...
hear what her father has to say:

Terri's Fight For Life: The Video Clips They Tried to Censor
Terri was 26 years old when she suffered brain damage from a sudden collapse. Terri receives her food and water by means of a feeding tube. Terri's other bodily functions are physically stable. Terri smiles, laughs and cries. Terri recognizes voices and responds. At times, she vocalizes sounds, trying in her best way to speak. Terri is not a brain dead vegetable as characterized by her husband and legal guardian, Michael Schiavo nor a houseplant as implied by his attorney. Terri is not on a respirator or any artificial life support. She is a living human being and needs to be granted an opportunity to recover. Terri has not had any progressive rehabilitation or arousal therapy in more than ten years.
The following video clips, some of which Terri's family were ordered by the judge not to release, prove that Terri is not in a vegetative state. For the latest updates on her case please visit http://www.terrisfight.org.

^that video is purposely edited, as an attempt to show terri is reacting to the stimuli of her familys presense. full video shows see reacted as natural instinct at different times, i like to watch pbs, and listen to neurologists when some prominent ones spoke the same all over the tv the last couple days, not family members and christians who obviously give biased info out.

IF the person was braindead, non responsive, in a coma with no hope of ever recovering and had expressly stated and written down beforehand that they would want to die if they were in this situation...i wouldn't have a problem with it.
i wouldn't want the person starved to death or killed if they were clearly not in that situation.

LIFE AND DEATH TUG OF WAR
Attorney: Terri cried at news
Claims brain-injured woman said she wants to live

Terri Schiavo responding to her mother in video clip available on terrisfight.org
An attorney for Terri Schiavo said the severely brain-injured woman cried and yelled out that she wants to live after being told today her life-sustaining feeding tube was about to be removed by court order.
Barbara Weller was in Terri Schiavo's room at the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla., when the encounter took place, according to activist Randall Terry, who spoke with WorldNetDaily from outside the building as demonstrators continued a vigil.
If true, the report apparently refutes the court's finding that Terri Schiavo is in a "persistant vegetative state" and cannot currently express her wishes. Her husband, Michael Schiavo, contends she had indicated she would not want to live in such a condition, but parents Robert and Mary Schindler dispute that and suspect he is responsible for the 1990 incident in which oxygen to her brain was temporarily cut off, causing severe brain damage. (given the circumstances of the incident, i'd say this is likely true...also given the money he stood to gain from her death...)
Weller essentially told Terri Schiavo, "You had better say you want to live or they will kill you. Just say you want to live."
Schiavo responded with a drawn out, "IIIIII," then screamed out "waaaaaaaa" so loudly that a police officer stationed outside the room came in.
The officer then ordered Weller removed from the room, according to Terry.
The event was witnessed by Terri Schiavo's sister Suzanne Vitadamo and Suzanne's husband Michael.
"I talked to Suzy and Michael, and they both said it was unbelievable," Terry said. "It was very articulate, for Terri, but they also say this is normal [for her to communicate]."
Terry explained the family says Schiavo often is talkative, though similar to a 10-month-old.
"The words usually are not discernable, but she's responsive to commands, uses slow diction and her voice lilts to show emotion and context," he said.
Weller teared up after hearing Schiavo respond today, Terry said, and indicated Schiavo was crying.
Terry has established a website, helpterri.com with information about how to get involved, including phone numbers of lawmakers and details of a rally and lobby-training sessions to be held next week in the Florida capital, Tallahassee, beginning Monday.
"We need people there Monday night, people who have never lobbied before, to come, and we're going to be begging the [Florida] Senate to get its act together," Terry said.
Doctors removed Terri Schiavo's feeding tube today to carry out her estranged husband's requested court order.
Barring an intervention, she is expected to live another week to 10 days.
The tube removal came after a Florida judge blocked an eleventh-hour end-run waged by members of House and Senate panels, ruling the device can be removed immediately.
Early this morning, the House Government Reform Committee decided to launch an investigation into the case and issued subpoenas that order doctors and the administrator at the hospice facility not to remove her feeding tube and keep her alive until the investigation is complete.
At the same time, the Senate Health Committee also requested Terri and Michael Schiavo appear at an official committee hearing March 28.
As a result, minutes before the 1 p.m. EST deadline for the tube removal passed Pinellas Circuit Court Judge David Demers ordered the feeding tube remain in place while presiding Judge George Greer addresses the matter of the congressional subpoenas in a court hearing.
But an hour later, Greer disregarded the subpoenas and again ordered the feeding tube pulled.

I haven't really read through all the posts, but I think cutting the lady off from her feeding tube is horrible and barbaric. What I don't understand is how the US makes sure that convicts on death-row die as painlessly as possible (i.e. lethal injection) while this poor lady has to starve to death, which could take as long as 2 weeks. This is a freaking outrage.
I'm all for a person having the right to die, but doing it this way is nothing short of torture, and no human being, conscious or not, should have to suffer through such a horrible death. I'd rather somebody stuff a pillow in her face than starving her.
By the way, one note of the pronunciation of the name. It's Italian, and it's not pronounced "SHAIVO" like everyone says, it's actually pronounced "SKEEAVO". Incidentally, it's the Italian word for slave... :) But that's just me, I'm really anal-retentive when it comes to pronunciation of words...

i think its very important for everyone over 18 to have a "living will" which states exactly what you want done to yourself if you are in a situation like Terri's. it doent take long and prbly doent cost much. my mother had a living will and she lived in fla. she was dying after heart surgery, i was kind of reluctant to let her go but the nurse talked to me about it and said "she did that living will for a reason, you cant go against her wishes because if she does survive this she will be on tubes and veg state for who knows "so we had to let her go=it was the hardest thing i ever went thru- i dont recommend it for anyone, but i would think that Terris husband would have rights= i know when my sister was dying of cancer her husband took over everything- we were out of the loop so to speak. i really dont understand it

i just listened to that radio link PH gave us and i had no idea on what was really happinging. Broken bones? mistress money??oh the plot thickens! the mainstream news sure doent tell it all! sound real strange to me and she c ould be rehabilitated? if she can she should! how does the money fit in if she had a heart attack i wonder. usually that will set you back even with health insurance if the husband neglected her then i guess he could be held liable?

I've been following this thing for a long time just like PH , and the misconceptions are enormous, he's dead on right. She is not in any vegetative state. (by medical definition) Nor is she unresponsive. Her husband seems to have choked her...to put her in that state in the first place, he has motive means and oppurtunity...yet the police never investigated...These are the cardinal rules for developing a suspect yet they didnt even glance at it....Sounds suspicious to me. She also never wrote anywhere that she wants to live , and by all (non edited clips too) she wants to die and is happy whenever her parents are around...Her husband has several times tried to get at the money already. I dont know about you but if she was my sister I wouldnt lie , but I would certainly be suspicious of him. (obviously none of us can truly know every angle, just like we can't with peterson. But by all rules of investigation he'(shiavo's husband) is suspect numero uno...yet no investigation at all.....and he continually tries to get at the money...and to cut Terry off from feeding (she's not on life support either...)
